5 Things I Wish I Knew BEFORE Using a Tractor Backhoe!

A first-timer's honest account of early mistakes and lessons from their first few hours on an LS MT242 backhoe.

Practical rather than technical, no specs or performance data, but candid enough to be useful for other new backhoe owners nervous about their first dig.
